Electric Vehicles
A transformation in the automotive industry is occurring. While many alternative fueled vehicles have been proposed for years, the electric vehicle (EV) is emerging as the preferred technology. Battery technology has been at the forefront of this transformation. As the cost and weight of an EV battery is reduced, the price of an EV is edging closer to the price of an internal combustion engine (ICE – gasoline and diesel) vehicle. Even though currently the number of EVs on the road is relatively small, the market is significantly growing. Governments have or are beginning to make projected bans on new ICE vehicle sales in the near future. This movement, plus the increase in carbon emissions into the environment, is accelerating the adoption of EVs.
